Super Duper build DD :-)

The cowl flaps were individual pieces of styrene. The markings are those on the Revell 1/48 plastic kit I'm using for reference. They are for ac# 25536 or 403 and are for the Pacific theater. The red stripe was also blue.

Pretty slick DD.2 questions: 1- What are the tail markings? I've seen it before, but couldn't find it. 2- Cowl flaps - individual or have you figured out how to make the arc?

Thanks, Brian. No, but there are four more to be mounted on the bottom of the pod (fuselage).

Great idea using the painted tape! That looks sharp and clean.

now why didn't I think of that - much better look this way

Amazing the difference a light source makes - the "inside" colour is much better.

Like most canopies in balsa kits, the frame outlines are exaggerated and most modelers who mask them make them much too wide following those outlines. The Guillows Zero is a splendid example. So, I used painted masking tape closer to the actual width. The ends of the tape and all junctions are painted which basically seals them in place. I will have to mask the half moon shapes in front of each seat.

This is a little on the green side outside but inside, where it lives, the color is a bit more towards brown. I like the color as it's light enough to show panel lines. As usual when mixing a complex color, I mixed enough for two or three models.

Looks like you mixed OD properly :)

Can't wait to see this one finished. Your infills and final finishes are always so good.

Those details really take it to another level.

Real nice David. A bit of departure for you, doing full cockpits. Looking really good

I really love this level of detail in the cockpit!
